I need an AI Firefox extension that detects badly translated AI text and automatically blocks those domains.

A search engine that displays only human created content, and hides AI.

Automatically no, but I've been waiting years for somebody to make a crowdsourced blacklist extension for search engines. A little '84% of voting users say this site contains low-quality algorithmically generated content' next to search results or something.
